Treatment for Young Pigs.

My mode of treatment for young pigs,
says farmer in the SUiaeherd, is: In the
first place after the pigs are narrowed am
very careful to watch them and see that
the sow does not overlap them and that
their bed is kept clean and dry. lido not
feed the SOW very much for six or eight
days, do not feed any slop until the pigs
are five weeks old, then / do not give any
sour slop, for it will give the pigs the
scours, which will stunt or kill them. I
do not allow them to have very much bed
ding while young, and it should be
changed twice week. As soon as they
are old enough to eat corn sink trough
in the ground so they can get to it easy
and feed them soaked corn in it. II I
want them for showpigs / give them all
they can eat with pint of slop to each
pig twice day; if / want them forfall
trade, let them run on grass through the
summer, and do not feed very much
corn, as / think pigs keptin this way will
make bigger hogs with better eonstitu-
tons than when fed too strong while
young, as you are liable to break them
down in the feet and ruin their constitu-
tons for breeding purposes, which is
one OF the main things we are looking
after. Ny observation has been that pigs
fed for the show ring never amount to
much as breeders; this is not always the
case, but you will find it so nine cases
out of ten. ] have been in the show
ring nine years and have ruined more
good pigs by feeding too young than
by disease. The best result I ever had
was not to feed any corn till the pigs
were four months old, then when Ibe-
gan 70 feed them il would not be long
till they began to curl their tails, and
By the time they were six months old
they would weigh two hundred to two

Why He Shot Himself.

The London Telegraph tells the fol-
lowing singular story: A tragical sui
eide, which has q touch of romance
about il, has just occurred at the prison
of Karthause, near Prague. A young
soldier named Kazowsky was standing
guard there. In his early youth he had
lost his father, not through death, but
in q far more melancholy way. His
father hal committed murder, had been
pronounced guilty, and condemned TO
twenty years hard labor. The young
son was then eight years old, and his
fathers features remained firmly i'm
printed upon his memory, as well as the
whole painful impression of the event,
which produced o severe shock upon his
youthful mind.
While standing sentry before the
prison Of Karthaus, and seeing the con-
yicts led past him on their way TO the
open air, he recognized in one of the
hoary criminals his own father. He
spoke no word, neither did he discover
himself to his father; but on being re.
lieyed from his post he quietly loaded
his gun and discharged bullet at his
head. Dying, he confessed TO his com.
rades the horrible discovery he had
made, and which had driven him II
seek death at his own hands.

At a Royal Institution lecture, Prof.
Sir William Thomson expounded the
latest dynamical theories regarding the
probable origin, total amount, and
possible duration Of the SUMS heat. !"
During the short 5000 years or more Of
which man possesses historic records
there was, the learned physicist showed,
no trace Of variation in solar energy; and
there was no distinct evidence of it
even, though the earth rs whole, from
being nearer the sun, received in Janu-
airy six and one-half per cent. more heat
than in July.
But in the millions Of years which
geology carried us back, it might safely
be said there must have been great
changes. How had the solar fires been
sustained during those ages2 The sci
entific answer TO this question was the
theory Of Helmholtz that the sun was o
vast globe gradually cooling, but as it
cooled shrinking, and that the shrinkage
which has the effect Of gravity upon
its mass-kept up its temperature. The
total of the sur's heat was equal to that
which would be required to keep up
476, 900 millions Of millionshorse power,
or about $4,000 horse power for every
square meter-a little more than o
square yard; and yet the modern dy-
namical theory of heat shows that the
suns mass would require only to fall
in or contract thirty-five meters per an
mum to keep up that tremendous ener-
gy. At this rate the solar radius in
1000 years time would be about one
hundreth per cent less than at preset.

The First Balloon.

This narrow belt of level ground at
Avignon between the foot of the wall and
the brink Of the Rhone witnessed 105
years ago a very strange and memorable
spectacle, writes correspondent of the
New York Tines. One fine morning in
1852, Just about the time when many Of
the Frenchmen who had been fighting
for American independence were Begin
ming to straggle home again, there was
great excitement in Ayignon. Through
the river gate the townspeople came
pouring by hundreds and by thousands to
crowd around group Of local officials
and scientific experts who were standing
on the bank beside large silken bag,
which was heaying and bullying in q
curious way as if 1t were gradually in
fated with air. The better informed
among the crowd eagerly announced to
their neighbors that the two men who
were so busy with this bagof silk-''two
crazy fellows named Montgolfer'-had
undertaken to send it up into the air as
an experiment, having been foolish
enough to assert the possibility Of making
similar bags Of larger size 10 navigate the
sky Just as ships navigate the sea, carry
ing with them q number Of men fully
equipped with all necessary stores and
implements. The general laugh which
greeted the thought Of such an ex-
travagant absurdity had scarcely died
away when the unbelievers were con-
founded TO see the siIken cast (which
the ''two crazy fellows" had fully in.
fiated by this time) give one final heave
and then sail slowly upward into the air,
passing over the town at hight Of several
hundred feet. The first balloon had been
launched into space.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
10 FARM AND GARDEN.
Making Glover HAY.

Cut the clover as soon as You car see
any heads turning brown. Cut at this
stage, the clover will make less weight
than if cut later; but it will have a greater
food value, q larger part of it being di-
gestible. As the heads ripen, the per-
centage of woody fibre in the plant
steadily increases. Cut as soon as the
earliest blossoms begin to turn, it is more
troublesome to cure than if cut later; but
this is more than compensated for by the
greater value of the second crop, whether
it is cut for hay or seed. When cut at
the right season, and well cured, the
nutritive value of clover hay is fully
equal to that of Timothy, and is greater
in many food combinations, on account
of its higher albuminoid ratio. Glover
is injured by too much sun. A
very hot sun is not desirable, as it
"buras" the clover, making the leaves
10 brittle that they will break off
il handling. If allowed to get too ripe
before it is cut, or if cut when the dew is
on, the effect is of the same nature. 1t
will cure not little in the cock, and this
curing Is more desirable than sundrying.
The less handling necessary the better.
The best weather for clover-hay making
is when the sun Is not very hot and the
air is dry. The worst weather is-unfor-
tunately, not uncommon-hot sun and
moist atmosphere; then the hay ''burns
out" and sudden showers may be ex-
pected.
Clover hay will not keep in a stack,
unless the stack is protected by better
material. In the West, where most of
the hay is stacked, this is accomplished
by putting timothy on the top. Large
barracks-open sheds-are often used.
These cost but little, and afford good
protection. But nothing else equals a
good NOW; and nearly all the value of
clover hay depends upon its curing and
eeping.-American Agrieulturist.
